Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 48 The battle is over, Taihao returns to the primordial world.

"This opportunity belongs to me, Fire Spirit Princess. Do you have any objections?"

The scene suddenly fell silent, a deathly silence.

Opinion?

What's your opinion?

Faced with a quasi-saint level power, what opinions could these Great Luo Golden Immortals possibly have?

Even if the number of people here doubled, it still wouldn't be enough for a Quasi-Saint to fight!

After analyzing the pros and cons, Kunpeng did the same thing as the Western duo: he turned around and left without a second thought.

Why leave?

Because he knew clearly that the opportunities here would have nothing to do with him.

However, at this moment, the strongest reaction did not come from the Three Pure Ones, but from Emperor Jun.

"Fuxi!"

"Whether it's his personal abilities or his sibling relationship with Nuwa, this person is worth winning over! And it requires a great deal of effort!"

"After all, besides his connection to Nuwa, he can also use this to extend his relationship with... Huo Ling Ji!"

Soon, Di Jun figured out the key point.

He decided to focus his efforts on winning over Fuxi.

Just as he was thinking this, only Sanqing and Hongyun remained in the arena.

At this moment, Hongyun was caught between a rock and a hard place.

I'm really torn.

After a long silence, Lao Tzu, the foremost of the Three Pure Ones, spoke first:

"There are seven gourds on this gourd vine. Wouldn't it be a bit much for you to try and eat them all by yourself?"

"Elder brother is right. There is still a glimmer of hope in the Heavenly Dao. You want to take it all? Are you trying to be higher than the heavens?" Yuanshi said loudly, his expression righteous and indignant.

"Whether you agree or not, I will seize this opportunity from you today!" Tongtian not only spoke, but also drew his Qingping Sword!

Huo Ling'er chuckled softly, her expression remaining largely unchanged.

"I have waited here for more than a century, watering it with divine water every thousand years and carefully tending to it every ten thousand years. Now that the gourd is ripe, you say, 'This thing is destined for you.' If that's the case, why didn't you appear before me?"

"In the end, it's just that they have something to rely on, so they're unwilling to accept it!"

"That's perfect, I also want to know just how strong a Quasi-Saint really is!"

After speaking, a Fusang Fire Tree suddenly unfolded behind Huo Ling'er. Every branch and leaf on the tree was like a small sun. If any cultivator dared to look directly at it and count them, they would find that there were as many as one Yuan Hui (a unit of time in Chinese mythology) of these small suns!

When they all shine together, it is like a great sun!

The great sun that refines and burns the heavens!

The fire was so intense, so fierce, so raging, that it seemed it could even burn itself!

Then, in the next moment, the Three Pure Ones experienced the same fate as Jieyin and Zhunti, being burned by the True Fire of the Sun and having no strength to fight back, and could only keep retreating.

What makes them better than Jieyin and Zhunti is that Laozi has the Xuanhuang Pagoda, which can protect them and prevent their cultivation from being damaged.

The bad thing is that Huo Ling'er's current Solar True Fire is far more refined than it was when she was a Great Luo Immortal; it's so pure that it's almost transforming her!

Therefore, under these circumstances, they could only leave, not stay.

In an instant, all the gourds on the gourd vine belonged to Huo Ling'er!

After the Three Pure Ones hastily retreated, the only ones left in the arena, besides Huo Ling'er, were Nuwa and Fuxi.

"Senior Sister, you've broken through to Quasi-Saint? I thought listening to a Saint's sermon would bring me great fortune! I never imagined I still couldn't catch up to you!"

Nuwa's tone was regretful.

"Listening to the sage preach is not as good as my senior sister's solitary cultivation! If it weren't for Master's entrustment and the great opportunity, I wouldn't have gone!"

"Master sent you there for a reason! Besides, even when the sage preached, it wasn't as bad as you described. Perhaps you weren't listening carefully?" Huo Ling'er said meaningfully.

"How is that possible!"

Nuwa quickly denied it, for she had not forgotten that Taihao would also be conducting an inspection.

At this moment, Huo Ling'er walked towards the gourd vine and continued speaking.

"There are seven gourds on this vine, each of which is at least a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. Would you like to pick one, Junior Sister?"

Although Huo Ling'er was domineering towards outsiders, she was very kind to Nuwa, who was from the same sect. She would bring up the gourd vine before Nuwa could even focus her attention on it.

"No need, senior sister!"

Nuwa shook her head in refusal, and then explained.

"Although I vaguely sensed a gourd connected to my energy before coming here, now that I'm sensing it closely, it seems to come and go. It's probably not anything important, so I'll give the gourd to my senior sister! It's the gourd vines and the soil beneath them that are more deeply connected to me!"

"Moreover, if Senior Sister were to combine the seven gourds into one, it would likely be more than just a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

Seven gourds combined into one?

Huo Ling'er looked thoughtfully at the last gourd that was not yet ripe.

If it's not a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, then it must be an innate supreme treasure.

Just as Huo Ling'er was thinking about these things, the bet between Taihao and Hongjun in the chaos had already been decided.

Hongjun was utterly defeated.

Taihao wins decisively!

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, the result of this bet is out, and the turning point you mentioned has not appeared!" Taihao laughed loudly.

Hongjun took a light breath, trying not to appear too agitated, and changed the subject.

"Since that's the case, I'm completely convinced. Fellow Daoist, you may enter the Primordial World! But there's one thing you must be careful about: you must not do anything that harms the Primordial World. Otherwise, I will take action and, together with the Heavenly Dao, banish you from the Primordial World! And you will never be allowed to return!"

Hongjun's words were almost tantamount to a showdown, and he spoke very bluntly.

But Taihao showed no fear on his face; instead, he spoke with a pointed meaning.

"I fear that when the time comes, it will not be me who destroys the primordial world, but rather the others within it!"

"There's no need for you to worry about that, fellow Daoist. I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, Hongjun's figure quickly faded away, clearly not wanting to stay for even a moment longer, and he directly used his supernatural powers to leave.

Seeing this, Taihao did not make any further comment.

Although he won big in this bet, he also completely offended Hongjun, almost pushing him to the opposite side.

"But it doesn't matter, I will have a battle with Hongjun sooner or later!"

With that thought, Taihao unleashed his divine sense and appeared from chaos in the primordial world.

As the representative of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun could communicate with the Heavenly Dao more easily than Taihao. Therefore, after the bet was completed, Taihao was able to enter the prehistoric world, which was equivalent to the "access request" being approved.

But in any case, once Taihao transcended the primordial world, he was essentially an outsider to it.

Not only will they attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, but their strength will also be suppressed.

"It's dropped by about 30%? That's not too bad!"

Taihao had anticipated the decline in strength, so he didn't feel much at the moment.

Moreover, it's only 30%. Even if it drops by 99%, in the current prehistoric world, only Hongjun can fight against him.

"Let's go back to the dojo first. It's a middle-thousand world that fell from the great thousand worlds; it must hold many mysteries!"

"Before, my strength hadn't reached the Mixed Origin level, so even if I wanted to investigate, it was difficult to find any clues."

"Now that I have not only broken through my cultivation level, but also mastered the laws of space, I will surely be able to detect anything amiss, and I can even bring the Daoist temple, along with the Middle Thousand Worlds, into the Taihao Heaven!"

In the blink of an eye, Taihao appeared near the dojo.

Then, as soon as he appeared, a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Just as I suspected! Something is indeed devouring the world?"

Under Taihao's divine perception, things that he had not been able to perceive before breaking through to the Hunyuan realm became clear at this moment.

"A black hole?"

Even with Taihao's cultivation level, he found it difficult to describe the thing he perceived with his divine sense.

That void, formless, profoundly deep, and elusive.

It was as if everything there was destined to vanish into nothingness.

Some want to destroy the world, but there are clear differences.

The similarity is that neither can be observed when one's cultivation level is insufficient.
